Abstract

Methods and systems for diversity processing based on antenna switching are disclosed. Aspects of one method may include switching among a plurality of antennas in a multi-antenna wireless terminal to receive packets. An antenna may receive a number of packets before switching to another antenna, where the number of packets may be pre-determined or dynamically determined. The received packets may be diversity processed where portions of a plurality of the received packets may be combined to form a single data packet. Similarly, antenna switching may also be used to transmit packets. For example, a data packet may be apportioned to a plurality of packets, and each of those packets may be transmitted via the antennas. Accordingly, if the number of packets to transmit is one, each antenna may transmit one packet, and the antenna switching may select another antenna with which to transmit a packet.

In the running, wireless terminal 100 can pass through antenna 105a...105b received RF signal.Wireless terminal 100 can be by switched antenna, receives packet through for example antenna 105a...105b, like this, in any fixed time, can provide the packet that receives to radio-frequency front-end 110 one of among the antenna 105a...105b.When wireless terminal 100 sent signal, baseband processor 114 can be to radio-frequency front-end 110 transfer data packets.Therefore, radio-frequency front-end 110 can send packet to the antenna of firm switching.After baseband processor 114 sent packet to radio-frequency front-end 110, baseband processor 114 can be provided with antenna handover module 113 to switch to another antenna.Thereby each antenna once transmits a packet.In another embodiment of the present invention, each antenna is switching to the packet that can transmit different given numbers before another antenna.
The quantity of data packets that each antenna receives may have nothing in common with each other.For example, if antenna 105a ratio antenna 105b has the indication of higher signal to noise ratio or received signal intensity, switching to before other antenna, but antenna 105a ratio antenna 105b receives the more data bag.Switching to the bit error rate (BER) that this antenna is received before other antenna quantity of data packets also depends on the data that receive from this antenna.For example, if the bit error rate (BER) of the packet that receives from antenna 105a that baseband processor is measured is lower than the bit error rate (BER) of the packet that receives from antenna 105b, switching to before other antenna, will be from the packet that antenna 105a receives more than the packet that receives from antenna 105b.Therefore, switching to before other antenna, the quantity of data packets that antenna receives is default or dynamically changes.
Antenna tuning circuit 112 can be antenna 105 impedance is provided, simultaneously antenna 105 and antenna tuning circuit 112 can possess centre frequency and with the centre frequency corresponding bandwidth.But antenna tuning circuit 112 impedance matching antennas 105 and radio-frequency front-end 110.Thereby antenna 105 can provide optimum reception to the signal in the bandwidth range.
Yet different environmental conditions can cause the desirable centre frequency of carrier deviation.For example, if wireless terminal 100 is portable terminals, the inductance or the capacitance characteristic of palm of holding the user of portable terminal just may change centre frequency.Wireless terminal 100 may detect central frequency deviation and dynamic-configuration antenna tuning circuit module 112, makes centre frequency get back to the desired center frequency.Radio-frequency front-end 110, it can receive small-signal in ideal frequency, detect central frequency deviation.The acquisition of signal that can receive by processing is to central frequency deviation.For example, the increase of the bit error rate (BER) of the packet that baseband processor 114 can receive by detection, this is used to indicate the drift of centre frequency.
Signal strength indicator and/or bit error rate (BER) can send processor 116 to.Processor 116 can determine whether antenna tuning circuit 112 needs to reset.Therefore, processor 116 can transmit control accurately and/or data-signal is given antenna tuning circuit module 112, to reset and/or to retune antenna tuning circuit module 112.By the relevant information of processing received signal, but processor 116 dynamic adjustments centre frequencies are to reduce the influence that central frequency deviation brings.Processor 116 reconfigurable antenna tuning circuit modules 112 are with the bandwidth of adjusting antenna 105 and/or the matched impedance of antenna 105 and radio-frequency front-end 110.
Though among Fig. 1, other processor or controller of the present invention and at least one communicates, and is not limited to this.Therefore, have in the example, when control radio frequency transmission the time, processor 116 does not communicate with other processor.For example, in a kind of design of wireless terminal, can not adopt other processor except processor 116 or processor 116 all the required information of access control radio communication of having the right.In addition, received signal intensity indicating circuit 111 can be used as the part of radio-frequency front-end 110.But the present invention is not limited to this.For example, received signal intensity indicating circuit 111 can be positioned at before the radio-frequency front-end 110, as the part of radio-frequency front-end 110 and/or be positioned at after the radio-frequency front-end 110.
Fig. 2 A is the canonical schema according to the antenna switching of the embodiment of the invention.With reference to Fig. 2 A, show antenna 105a and 105b, bag stream (packet stream) 210 and 220 and superpacket stream 230.For example, antenna 105a can receive bag stream 210, and antenna 105b can receive bag stream 220.For example, antenna handover module 113 can be set, can receive packet M like this to select the input of antenna 105a.Receive after the packet M for example baseband processor 114 or processor 116 input of antenna handover module 113 of can resetting with reception antenna 105b.Therefore antenna 105b can receive packet M+1.The next packet that antenna handover module 113 receives from antenna 105a can then be set, for example packet M+2.
By receiving the mutual packet from antenna 105a and 105b, bag stream 210 can comprise packet M, M+2...N-2 and N, and bag stream 220 can comprise packet M+1, M+3...N-1 and N+1.The packet that receives can be stored into, for example, and buffer 114a or system storage 118.Information from bag stream 210 and 220 can be stored to constitute superpacket stream 230.Therefore, superpacket stream 230 can comprise packet M, M+1, M+2, M+3 ..., N-2, N-I, N and N+1.For example, baseband processor 114 and/or processor 116 can be handled the packet in the superpacket stream 230, to recapture base-band information.
Same, when the transmission data, can be sent to radio-frequency front-end 110 from the packet of superpacket stream 230, one of can be transferred among the antenna 105a...105b at this packet.Therefore, if packet transmits by antenna 105a and 105b, but antenna 105a transmission package stream 210, but antenna 105b transmission package stream 220.Baseband processor 114 switchable antennas, for example, after transmitting a packet or after receiving packet to radio-frequency front-end 110.Yet the present invention is not limited to this.For example, the antenna switching takes place after may or transmitting a plurality of packets in reception.

Duplexer 242 can comprise suitable logic, circuit and/or code, is used for low noise amplifier 244 is isolated from power amplifier 246.Duplexer 242 can connect power amplifier 246 and switch 240 under the sending mode of radio terminal 110; Under the receiving mode of radio terminal 110, connect low noise amplifier 244 and switch 240.Therefore, when power amplifier 246 transmits, can protect low noise amplifier 244 to be without prejudice from the high power signals of power amplifier 246.When radio terminal 110 is in receiving mode, the noise isolation that low noise amplifier 244 can may generate with power amplifier 246.
Though antenna handover module 113 can be interpreted into 2 antenna systems, the present invention is not limited to this.For example, the antenna amount that comprises of radio terminal 110 can and be decided according to the design needs.
